Verizon 4G LTE Doesn't Work for Remote Applications

Verizon
has officially launched their new VZ4G LTE network and despite a few
bugs the service has been pretty impressive so far. However, we've found
a major problem that could be a deal breaker IF you require a router to
run remote-based applications. No matter the Verizon device you purchase (USB aircard or Jetpack), they will
run a privately routed IP (10.) address that ONLY allows outbound
traffic - no inbound traffic can be passed through. This means that if
you have a need for remote access to a device, Verizon's new
3G/4G-capable devices will not allow you to access them without paying for a static IP address.

Inbound Traffic Examples:

M2M (Machine to Machine)

SlingBox (Dish Network/Direct TV)

Remote IP Camera applications

Access to off site server

DVR (Digital Video Recording)

Security Systems

FTP/SSH Servers

Screen Share Applications (Examples VNC, PC Anywhere)

Microsoft RDP (Remote Desktop)

VPN (running VPN server)

If you have any need for any of the above examples, you MUST pay for a static IP address. We have tried to test the Pantech
UML290 (among other devices) with a SlingBox and Aztec Camera system and it WILL NOT pass
inbound traffic or allow for any type of port forwarding.
